Interestingly, recent research indicates that the major binding site of
THC (the main psychoactive constituent in cannabis) is also the major
binding site for the drug in chocolate. The reason some people can't
stop eating chocolate is that like cannabis, it gives them the munchies.

More interesting chocolate research: the drug is also related to an
addictive substance excreted from skin and absorbed by mucus membranes
during kissing and sex.  Another place a related drug is found is rose
petals. I suspect that this means that when someone gives you roses and
chocolate, it's supposed to make you addicted and want to have sex with
them.
